Yeah you know me! If you’ve been following @1000heads on Twitter, you might know that we’ve been tinkering around with NFC of late, and for good reason. Last week, as part of our activity for Nokia’s Symbian Belle launch, we arranged a special ‘48hrs in Hong Kong‘ for a very lucky group of six select [...]
Each morning I spend around 15mins of my day looking through my Google Reader for some decent content that I can share across the fairly interesting 1000heads Twitter feed. Sometimes though, I come across such a fantastic idea, such a perfect execution that it warrants a whole blog post on its own. Today is one [...]
Cannes Lions is well and truly over and, with the Young Lions celebrating their latest win (along with many, many others), it’s time to look back over some of the more leading and creative thoughts that fell out of such an important conference. Back in part one I promised some thoughts on the Diageo session [...]
I’m a fan of objects being used in interesting ways. There’s something about the subtle re-imagining of an otherwise familiar object that makes me smile. And, more pertinently, surfaces a hitherto unrealised emotional bond to that object. This is a great example. The Ghost towel. I’ve never liked a towel before. But now I love [...]
I live in a building that contains 10 flats. Inside the front hall is a lovely wooden stand (I have no idea why we have something so lovely, I sometimes imagine that a master craftsman lives in the basement). On this stand is all the post for the building. That’s a bunch of bills, Amazon [...]
You remember Frank Carson right? Northern Irish comedian, star of Opportunity Knocks and uncle of Trevor Carson bright hope on the Northern Irish goalkeeping scene (currently under contract at Sunderland)? Of course you do. Then you’ll remember his catchphrase ‘It’s the way I tell ‘em’. And Frank was onto something there… The way you receive [...]
We love stories at 1000heads. We also love puns (heck, I do anyway). Which is why I smiled a little when reading about WiTHiNTENT today. They’re a new company who take the trampled wreckage of tents from festival sites nationwide and turn them into bags and jackets of a distinctly waterproof nature. This is good [...]
It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for things we like, number 3. I’m a big fan of things being re-appropriated for alternative uses. Like a nice bit of Rubik’s Cube art for example. Latest to pique my interest however was this work from Ghost of a Dream, turning discarded lottery tickets into the items [...]
I love Ikea Hacker. I love it because it’s creative in a most industrious way. I love it because it fuels my interest in getting the most out of a postage stamp sized London flat. I love it because it lets you look at things in a different way. Which is a good thing. I [...]
I love this. I’ve long been a fan of ASCII Art. Where one man sees a terminal that will only output text only good for the written messages, another sees a canvas full of possibilities. I find it quite beautiful. But I think it goes further than this. What’s happening in the ‘movie’ above isn’t [...]
